There are free anti-virus applications available too, so price is not an excuse.

Have you tried uninstalling Outlook Express using Windows add/remove software application under Control Panel? When you try to uninstall OE, Windows will offer to "repair" it. This can work sometimes if the virus hasn't deleted necessary system files.

Once you're back up and running, keep your virus software up to date and install, update and run AdAware or Spybot (both free) often. It's a jungle out here on the 'net. Surf safe, live long and prosper.


Thank-you (captain Kirk) for that advice, I will keep it in my memory bank!!

Pet Talk is an awesome connection!!! PROMISE!!!
